There is absolutely nothing better than a well-deserved productive shopping spree, that is, when your dream finally come true, that’s when everything you’ve planned out – works like a charm and that is, when the Chanel SA is whispering these magical words in your ears: ‘Yes, we still have one left in stock, let me grab one for ya’, at Paris in French of course.

And so, Jeannie travelled all the way from Singapore to Europe – her wallet loaded and ready to shoot aChanel Boy Quilted Bag whenever she sees one jumping by. She started in London, visited every single Chanel store and bugged every SA 6 days in a row (imagine the determination), but the god of luck was not shining upon her.

‘I have combed through each & every Chanelstores in London but to no avail despite my daily bugging to the SA among my 6 days there. I was consider lucky as per Paris SA as the very morning (18 April), this lovely medium boy came in stock.

Initially almost accepted the one & only medium boy in lambskin which is a display piece with defects. With much perseverance, I believe the right time will come.’

There you go, persistence is power, I wouldn’t recommend anyone walking away with a defect designer bag even if you can get it with discount. But you can consider Jeannie to be lucky, because she bought the Chanel Boy Quilted Flap Bag in Black just before the price increase, as per 18 April confirmed at Chanel, the Boy increased by approximately 7,5 percent. (more information will follow later on).

For those who are interested, Jeannie also flew back to Singapore with her proud and brand-new Chanel Medium Classic Flap Bag in Black and Caviar, bought at London Bond Street for 2740 GBP. Two iconic in one Europe visit, that’s a real good hunt.
